I am looking to do some PVP in the near future. There is an Alliance that I will be joining soon and would like to help out as much as I can. I can fly a pretty good chunk of ships with all four PC races.

āORā
āis there a type of ship the makes you thinkā.öMan, I wish we had one of those on our side!!!ö

I don't do much pvp anymore, but when I did I really liked a Deimos with good tackle. Taranis would get in, point somebody, and I'd warp 800km from a off-grid safe to RIGHT on top of a ship, and use antimatter at point blank to just rip a ship apart.
Blasters suck. Unless you negate range by warp-in. It needs a good tackler but when you have one it's a nice setup.
That'd be my FAVORITE setup, coz it's pretty effective bit mostly damn fun.
Cloaky-gank proteus can use the same tactics, but not as successfully,

I was thinking Rifter. I heard that's a great place to start.
Are any of the "special" frigates any good???
...think a capital is a bit much at this time???

Faction fit Hookbill is near unkillable 1v1 when flown correctly.
God I love those things.

Agreed. It's funny how many people think they suck.

If you got the skills for it a Typhoon is really fun to fly. The Hurricane ofcourse is great too, so many things you can do with those two ships, and they both are good bang for the bucks.
Logistic cruisers are always appreciated if you can fly them.

My God. A forum that people are agreeing (or at least refraining from posting) on pvp ships.
I thought I was gonna get heavy flak when calling a deimos (gallente, blasters, 'diemost' normally doesn't blow over well.)
And when nobody dissed hookbill - I was simply amazed. A step further when somebody actually AGREED.
I wish more threads were like this.

Favorite ship to fly in most pvp situations: Nano Heavy Pulse Zealot, up to 50km optimal range, dmn fast, agile with a mean DPS.
Ship I always love to have in gang along: T3 booster suited to gang (ea Loki for nano, legion for armor gangs etc)

I love the Sentinel. The kiting, neuting, tracking disrupting, drone-laden beast from hell. My absolute favorite solo ship, bar none. It's a true joy to fly.

I remember you used to mock me when I was among one of the few before the boost that used to think it was awesome.

I'd say Taranis.
But if you're new, then it definitely has to be the rifter for maximum fun per isk ratio.

Can't an Arbitrator do everything a Sentinel can for less cost? What about Curse/Pilgrims?

I have thought about Stealth Bombers... they look fun!!!
I have thought about flying one, but I am confusedā
What is the skill Bomb Deployment for? I know the Bombers use torpedoes/siege launchers, but isnÆt there a bomb launcher as well?
Sorry, I am just a bit confused on this?
PLUSā training for the Cheetah is the same skill!!!

The skill is for said bomb launcher, they can only be used in 0.0 though. If you fly in lowsec you will only be launching torperdoes (if you dont try out some weird fit). Stealth bombers are loads of fun, especialy if you are in a gang with a good tackle. They deal BSish dps and are frig sized, what is there not to love?

Thanks again for suggestions.
Any favorite fittings you would like to share???
(BTW... I think I am going to do the Rifter for sure. Logistics seems great too beacause I have 5.7 million skill points there.)

Here's two reasonably priced fits I enjoy flying a lot.
Hurricane:
425mm autocannon II * 6, Medium Energy Neut II * 2
Large Shield Extender II, Invulnerability Field II, Y-T8, Warp Disruptor II
Damage Control II, Gyrostabiliser II * 2/3, Tracking Enhancer II * 2, Nanofiber Internal Structure * 1/0
3 Core Defence Field Extenders
Warrior II's
It's fast, it's ganky, it murders stuff, it has cap warfare, it's p cheap for what it does with insurance.
Rupture:
425mm Autocannon IIs, Medium Neut, Small Neut
Large Shield Extender, Y-T, Warp disruptor II,
Damage Control II, some combo of Gyrostabiliser IIs, Tracking Enhancer IIs and Nanofiber Internal Structure IIs
Shield rigs and/or polys
Ghetto nanocruiser. Lots of fun to fly, goes fast, effective gun DPS and range.

Yes, except I prefer frigate hulls. Faster, better lock time, better agility. Paper thin, but that's part of the fun. There's little room for error. It's also a lot easier to get fights with a Sentinel than the other three.
Besides... Thread is about favorite ships, not the most effective in every situation with the widest range of targets.

I like this thread, im a total noob when i comes to pvp, ive not done it much at all with old toons and this one is still a virgin to it,
Reading most of the posts are minmatar projectile fits the best for pvp? most of my skils are gallente and hybrid skills, i currently have an ishkur with T2 drone and blaster fit, not had a chance to play it yet. Please tell me hybrid skills arent a waste!

Hey there,
PVP Frigates rock,
Hookbill-Never flown one, mean as **** with the boosts
Sentinel-Buying one today
Dramiel-Great ship but entirely too common, won't fly it ever
Thrasher-Amazing
Rifter-Classic
Ishkur-Great solo or pair ship
Etc.

Most PVP Frigates have specific advantages in certain situations, the real challenge is setting up that specific situation. Hybrids have there place and tbh I still will not take on an Ishkur on a 1v1 or even a 2v1 fight cause it melts frigs so fast. Blasters and drones are an amazing combo, but kiting and gang tactics tend to put the Ishkur lower on the wanted list, but as a lowsec brawler I'll take a Jag and an Ishkur pair any day.
Remember to choose your fights and don't be afriad to withdraw, in lowsec there is no honor, just who has to buy another ship(same goes for 0.0)
